What are three things necessary for a topographical map?
A map should include a key,a way to measure distance, and a compass rose.
What is proportion in a photography term?
scale in art means the size or proportion of the model you are drawing.
what are five things that should be shown on a map?
Scale, title,legend/key, compass rose, and a date.
What is compass surveying?
A compass traverse may be used to map a small area accurately or to conduct an open-ended traverse. A traverse is often used in mapping for resource inventories. A compass traverse is time-consuming, so it is a method used for making scale maps of relatively small areas. It is a relatively simple step-by-step process to measure bearings and distances on the ground and then draw them to scale. This process therefore offers a hands-on way to clearly see and work with the basic elements of scale maps - the relationship between scale, distance and direction
What is social distance scale?
Describes and explains methods used to measure distance while navigating a map with a compass
What are some milestones in the development of technology used by geographers in the order in which they appeared in history?
Navigating by sight, using maps and the shape of the coastline Using handheld instruments to measure the position of the sun and stars Using the Earth's magnetic field to determine direction Tying maps to databases
How are some milestones in the development of technology used by geographers Put them in the order in which they appeared in history Compass Astrolabe Scale maps Aerial photography?
Astrolabe: Used by early geographers to determine the position of celestial objects in the sky, aiding in navigation and mapping. Compass: Revolutionized navigation and mapping by providing a reliable method to determine direction, crucial for early explorers and cartographers. Scale maps: Allowed geographers to accurately represent the size and distance relationships of features on Earth's surface, improving the precision of maps and spatial analysis. Aerial photography: Transformed geographic research by providing detailed and bird's-eye-view images of landscapes, enabling geographers to analyze terrains, land use, and changes over time with greater accuracy.
How do you read an astrolabe?
To read an astrolabe, level the plum bob, the degree scale, the altitude, and the protractor.
What is the correct order of compass astrolabe scale map and aerial photography in which they appeared in history?
More than 3000 years ago Chinese feng-shui practitioners used lodestone - a naturally occurring magnet to orient in the environment and find iron rich ores; probably not for navigation at this time. Scale maps (of geographic areas) were attempted even earlier but were fraught with limited accuracy. Scale plans of buildings and cities were drawn up at least 4000 years ago. The Astrolabe was used over 1500 years ago (there are even some Bronze age (3000 years old) remnants that could be astrolabe parts) The compass as we know it is about 1000 years old. Relatively accurate scale maps developed over the ages and became useful about 400 years ago. (In the 1970's maps of South America were shown to have considerable mistakes, this was discovered by satellite imagery)
What is the part of map the tells direction?
A compass rose.
Where on the lensatic compass is the coordinate scale mplded?
On a lensatic compass, the coordinate scale is typically found on the base or the rear side of the compass housing. It may be printed or molded into the plastic or metal casing, often visible when the compass is opened. This scale helps users determine grid coordinates and is used in conjunction with the compass's other features for navigation and map reading.
Where on the lensatic compass is the scale molded?
Into the straight edge on the left side of the compass
What are four parts of a map?
the four parts of a map are the map key the scale/scale barcompos rose and cardinal direction its called a compass rose
How is a compass rose and a scale different?
How are map and model
How does one use an astrolabe to determine the altitude of an object in sky?
To determine the altitude of an object in the sky using an astrolabe, you would align the sighting arm with the object. Then, you would read the degree scale on the astrolabe where the sighting arm intersects it. This reading would give you the altitude of the object above the horizon.
What is the name of 4?

What are the 4 parts of a map?
The four main parts of a map are the title, legend, compass rose, and scale. The title provides information about the map's subject or area, the legend explains the symbols and colors used on the map, the compass rose shows the cardinal directions, and the scale indicates the ratio of distance on the map to actual distance on the ground.
